The BENTHEDI 1977 Expedition took place in Mayotte region from March 17 to April 15, 1997, on board the Research Vessel R/V Suroît (SISMER, 2015). Trawls and dredges were operated from 150-3716 m (mean depth prospected 524 m), with a few shallow waters collections between 3-50 m. The Crustacea Decapoda of this cruise are deposited in the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle, Paris (MNHN). They have been studied later after the cruise and appear sporadically in taxonomic revisions published between 1985 and 2012. A compilation of these results is presented herein with a list à 47 Decapoda extracted on December 2, 2015 from the CRUSTA a database maintained online by Legall & Poupin (2015). Taxonomic classification follows De Grave et al. (2009) and WoRMS (2015).
